After spending 5 years at Ola, I was keen to leverage my experience to play a larger role with a younger startup and Colosseum enabled that perfectly with the CFO role at Bounce for me. 

The relationship with Vishal has been more of a friend and advisor than just a search partner.  His proactive efforts on solving for new category creation also led me to the CFO role at CoinSwitch Kuber.  Vishal’s ability to navigate candidate aspirations with client expectations and ensure a great founder - CXO culture match is impeccable. 

Their process is seamless and probably the most comforting among many leadership recruiting giants I've interacted with. Best wishes to Vishal & team.
